The NAC in Ottawa has local music fans covered after artists such as Joel Plaskett (Mar 18) and sibling duo of Matthew and Jill Barber (May 6) along with many other artists are set to perform during the first five months of next year as part of the sixth annual NAC Presents program.
While heavyweights like Blue Rodeo (Feb 18 & 19) and Ron Sexsmith (Apr 29) will anchor the all-Canadian lineup between January and May, there are many other up-and-coming artists worth catching too, like Indigenous artist Iskwé (Mar 3) and Newfoundland folk trio The Once (Feb 24) to name but two.
The events executive producer, Heather Gibson, is recommending Alejandra Ribera (Mar 17), a pop and jazz singer from Toronto who performs in English, French and Spanish.
The NAC theatre along with the newly-renovated Southam Hall will play host to the larger dates with the smaller shows being held at the studio and the new Back Stage venue.
Tickets go on sale to the general public October 21st.

Hello, Sorry about there being no new content yesterday
Great Lakes Swimmers and Elliott BROOD will be at the NAC Studio on Dec 15 and 16 this year.
Good morning! The NAC schedule looks great, makes me wish I lived closer so I could to a few of those!
And Garfield, you have nothing to apologize for, this site is great, and has topical content almost everyday, missing a day or two isn’t a big deal! Plus, some of us members who read but don’t post should also contribute. *She says recognizing that in pointing the finger outward there are three other fingers pointing back at herself*
Good morning!
Nice sched.
@Janet, I can’t expect anyone to do something I am not willing to do myself
@Russ, I bet you say that to all the blogs
@Garfield, I totally get that! But I do think you’re being hard on yourself!
Good morning everyone! It just nasty gnarly rainy and dark here… winter has arrived in Portland.
Hi Justin
Has anyone else had problems trying to post youtube clips to the comments?
woohoo! I managed to run to work again this morning and the knee feels pretty good.
that’s two in the same week
The Weeknd shares graphic new video

@garfielduk I love the graphic you used today. trees and tunes are two of my favourite things:)
pressing play on the tunes as well.
@Morgana, In all honesty it is borrowed from their website
@garfeilduk when they have a stellar line up as well as graphic then. I will be sharing the NAC details with my sister as she used to live that way and still has many friends there.

Garfield, I love the EWW videos about movies, I had no idea they did music videos too! Oh goodness, there goes my productivity for the rest of the day!
@Janet, the have a channel for Brand Sins but nothing has been posted to it for a while

I hadn’t seen those either. Might have to check it all out!
huh, so Jim Prentice, form Alberta premier, was one of the 4 people who died in a small plane crash in BC
Hello out there.
hello in there
How’s things going? Volunteering for BoW was fun. It cost me money to volunteer with lost wages and parking and such but I would do it again. I am hoping to get to a few venues this weekend to check out some of the bands.
Good thanks, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed yourself volunteering
Is there any way we could work on getting your login working so you can start creating on here?
That would be nice to get working. It was frustrating last Friday not being able to.
Do you still have the password I sent to you?
Yes I have it.
how did you try to log in last time, what did you click on?
I have tried multiple ways and nothing worked. I did the connect to WordPress with DarBarSpecial, darbarspecial, darbarspecial email address and I tried all 3 with the other log in option.
were you clicking on
Log in with WordPress.com
or
Log in with username and password
I did both those options with all 3. Yes that email.
@darbar Once I was done todays playlist I moved over to some Great Lake Swimmers. I can’t believe I did not think of their song, “Les Champs De Progeniture” from New Wild Everywhere deluxe edition bonus track for your French playlist. So here it is now.
OH cool! Thanks Morgana!
Garf. I just reset my password but I am not sure where to go from there.
@DBS, I gave in and removed the account I set up for you because it wasn’t working.
Reset your password? where?
wordpress.com ?
Great Lake Swimmers are coming here soon. I am looking forward to it.
Yes for wordpress but it was probably just for the one I had set up already?
there are coming here too but so is wintersleep so i am torn because i can’t do both.
if you look up in the top right corner you will see a “subscribe by email” box, if you do that I will try and upgrade your account
you might need to refresh the page first
i am heading out to take a gift to my sister in law for her birthday and then off to work.
have wonderful day filling your ears and hearts with music everyone.
I’m off as well, DarBar, good luck getting your wordpress straightened out, I look forward to your next piece!
I’m off to watch some TV before going to bed, g’night
I sent an email to ourbasement with a screenshot Garf.
I had made a WordPress page at one point so I could like and use a profile photo. That may be affecting things?
well, it’s warmed all the way up to 5 degrees
and now it’s raining
I’m pretty sure in the 11 or 12 years I’ve been back in this icehole, this is the worst October weather I’ve seen so far
I just ran into this guy outside when I went to grab a sandwich.

It is also fun listening to my WCMA playlist and hearing the voices of some of the people I met at registration the last couple days.
